| We didn't start the fire... |
| 05.12.09 (8:02 am) [edit] |
Good morning Boys and Girls.Got home from Iowa last night about 9:00 Michigan time. I always feel like I've missed the world's turning when I'm out there. No one in the household has any interest in the news, and I'm usually too busy to sit and pay attention myself anyway, unless it's late at night, at which point I tend to fall asleep before I get the gist of anything, so this morning I've been glued to the TV trying to catch up a little. So far, I've managed to see a couple of clips of Dick Cheney making a few more of his sour grapes comments on one of the Sunday morning talk shows, and I see Miss California has decided that Satan was behind the question that derailed her quest to become Miss U.S.A. God, evidently, told her to "stand up for him" but failed to suggest she state her opinion persuasively and/or with the least bit of class. Wonder why God didn't tell her that her use of the term "opposite marriage" made her sound goofy? -Probably because God didn't have any more to do with the answer than Satan did with the question, despite the apparent sycophantic glee James Dobson experienced during his interview with her on his radio show. The Pope is in the middle east visiting sites sacred to Christians Jews and Muslims alike. A U.S. Sargent killed five other soldiers at a counseling center in Baghdad after having earlier being disarmed. Evidently he returned with another weapon and carried out his murders. That elderly retired Ohio factory worker long suspected of being a guard at one of the Nazi death camps during WWII is now in Munich to stand trial. He still maintains his innocence, claiming he was a Red Army soldier who was captured and held prisoner till the war ended. Another week of excitement... Be good to everyone. |

Why are microphones allowed at beauty pageants in the first place? No one is interested in their opinions. I come here for your opinions, and I sure as hell don't want to see you in a bikini!

Oy. I'm sure you know better. Oh wait, I've never HEARD a real idea from you. I'll promise you this, if and when we FINALLY get a single payer health system, I'll start hiring people - and, I'm not alone. MANY businessmen I know have complained for years that they can't afford to expand because they know they can't offer decent health insurance to new hires until the new hires have proved themselves to be useful and profitable - which for some businesses, can take years. Further, I know LOTS of people afraid to leave jobs they hate and try things that better use their talents because the job they have DOES offer health insurance and they can't afford to be without it while they spread their wings.
I love ya, but SOMEDAY, know what you're talking about before you pull a Barnabus. I'll bet you a hundred bucks you can't afford to offer health insurance to anyone you'd consider hiring at your shop. What does that mean to you? It means you could NEVER hire a person responsible for a family to help you expand. It mens you'd only be able to hire from the bottom of the barrel - unless you get lucky, but that wouldn't matter, because you'd never be able to afford to KEEP that sort of person cuz they HAVE to leave you in order to get some coverage.
Guess what, Miss "I'm a conservative and so every idea any "liberal" comes up with is automatically bad", You're CRAZY if you don't think a good national health care system would be GREAT for our economy. It's a no-brainer and only fools who cling to stupid old ideas can't figure it out - and I'd like to think you're NOT crazy, so READ and THINK and turn off that negative talk radio bullshit. It's MEANT to keep you smug AND stupid. Be neither.
